Why is trump meeting Putin in Alaska to discuss "swapping territories"?

[Delldude]

And why Alaska?

Neutral territory plus makes a statement with the Ruskies.

 

[sartre play]

What’s the alternative?

Good question.

 

[zaangalewa]

Because Trump is respected around the globe.

Da "Respekt" für Trump bedeutet dass ihm jemand in den Arsch kriecht kann ich nur hoffen sein Arsch wird nicht explodieren. Dann schaut die ganze USA Scheiße aus.

Since “respect” for Trump means someone is crawling into his ass, I can only hope his ass doesn't explode. Then the whole US will look like shit.

 

[sartre play]

He is meeting him to try and put a stop to this dumb war that Biden got us into.

The Ukrainians don’t want to fight for he Russian part of Ukraine. It’s already lost.

Draw up the new borders and call it a day.

No one cares what the keyboard warriors have to say about it.

If Zelensky won’t agree, it may be time to regime change his ass. He is a dictator at this point anyway.

We did not start the war between RUSSIA & UKRAINE.

 

[sartre play]

Whats wrong with being isolationist, and what's wrong with the US keeping herself out of other countries' wars, including European countries' wars?

SORRY, To late to be Isolationist. We live in a small world.

 

[sartre play]

What do you propose Biden should have done?

Good question.

How many times it needs to be told: Ukraine has never had nukes. The USSR had and a portion of it was staged in Ukraine.

In January 1994, the presidents of the US, Russia, and Ukraine signed a treaty on the withdrawal of all Soviet nuclear weapons from Ukraine. The country exchanged the missiles for security guarantees that turned out to be worthless.

Thirty years ago, it was a historic day: On January 14, 1994, Ukraine, Russia, and the US signed a trilateral declaration in Moscow on the transfer of all former Soviet strategic nuclear weapons to Russia. Ukraine had already handed over its tactical nuclear weapons to Moscow in May 1992. Negotiations on strategic nuclear weapons then began. Washington had a particular interest in these, as their range meant they could reach the US.

The January 1994 agreement paved the way for Ukraine's ratification of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in November, and finally, on December 5 of the same year, the infamous Budapest Memorandum was signed, in which Kiev committed to handing over its nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees from the US, Great Britain, and Russia, and US financial assistance for dismantling the relevant infrastructure.

Your source is incorrect.....no treaty was ever signed.

If you think so, Russian.

-----
The Budapest Memorandum comprises three agreements that were signed on December 5, 1994, in Budapest during the CSCE conference held there. In the agreements, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States jointly gave Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Ukraine security guarantees in connection with their accession to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in return for the elimination of all nuclear weapons on their territory. In particular, the agreements clarify and reaffirm previously existing commitments.

Not to forget:

Seit Anfang 2024 hat Russland begonnen taktische Kernwaffen in Belarus zu stationieren.
=
Since early 2024, Russia has begun stationing tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

And why Alaska?

Russian territory for Putin.

Rather for Alaska being in a very short striking distance if some lunatic decides to do something bad to Mr. Putin.

 

[Delldude]

The Budapest Memorandum

The Budapest Memorandum comprises three agreements, not a treaty, vollidot.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Neutral territory

Um... you know Trump is President of Alaska, right?

 

[Crepitus]

Russian territory for Putin.

Not yet at least.

 

[Crepitus]

Neutral territory plus makes a statement with the Ruskies.

How is that neutral territory? It's in America.

At least for now.

 

[Delldude]

King actually.

I was just ribbing you anyway. I don't actually expect somebody to know off the top of their head how many agreements there were.

LoL

I knew it wasn't a treaty from other postings here.

Goes to show the reliability of Wikipedia is questionable. US says four, the Germans Wikipedia says three.
